Hi, I have 2010 Fluence and I have recently started seeing some gearbox weirdness... intermittently, when going from 1st to 2nd gear the change is extremely stiff, quite alarming when sitting in traffic and suddenly can't get out of 1st! It does change with a bit of a jerk, but after that it's usually fine and normal driving is perfect, this is quite rare. happened maybe 6-10 times in the last month of driving. I think it would mostly happen when cruising at normal 100kph speeds and then entering a town and slowing down, then sitting in traffic. cheers
Hi George,
That sounds to us like a clutch-related issue, or rather the activation of the clutch. It's done hydraulically, controlled by a master cylinder. That's the first thing to check - or get a mechanic to check.

Ask us anything motoring related and please provide as much information as possible so we can give you the most accurate advice.
